I'm a writer, activist and minister. I founded the Tenderness Tour in 1989 and have traveled over 3,000 miles by wheelchair raising awareness on child abuse/domestic violence issues. I'm the author of "The Hallelujah Life" and actively involved in multiple violence prevention programs. I'm also a film critic and the founder of The Independent Critic.
